No T-21's on Flurry either... and 3 of the materials that DO exist that the t-21 requires, have low 100s for stats. The first batch of T21s on Flurry are gonna suck.


I agree with the above poster. This game has no longevity built into its system.

was the t-21's AR rating even on our correspondants list to fix?

Well, I think this is also sad. Don't you think you have mastered it too rapidly? Wouldn't you like to have some more thing to discover, like 8-9 other boxes of ability.......

I didn't have many other MMORPG experience, but in AO, it took 8 months to have the first level 200 on RK 1.

by the rifle comment, let me get this straight, the game is supposed to last years and we have a whoopin selection of 8 rifles??????

We should have in the 100's.........................................

All right. I just wanted to inform everyone on the servers that there is no "Mineral Shortage" on any of the servers. I was on last night, and one of the dev/tech guys /tell me in relation to a /bug report that I had turned in. He gave me credits to replace my droid... but anyway. I took that time to ask him what was up with the resource shortages on all of these servers. He replied by saying that every resource in the game is available on all of the servers, but the problem is finding it.

Apparently he had been playing the game since Beta, and they had the same problems with the supposed missing resources. He told me that when they finally DID get the resources, it was because the resource needed had been stuck in a very remote part of a difficult planet. He did not say where on what planet, but said that this was the case with ALL of our servers.

This line of questioning was verified by another dev/tech in game shortly after this conversation last night. He said basically the same thing, and that all the resources are here, but we havent found them all yet.

I was asked by both of these people not to submit their names on the board as they may be harrassed for this information as to where the resources are. They sounded sincere about this dilemma we all face, and I believe them, as they were the ones who helped me resolve my game issues.

Its fine if you guys dont believe me, but I have got their first-hand-knowledge of what is going on. They said that it is only a matter of time before we finish exploring every planet fully and can find these resources. It just takes time. So... in the meantime, we will have to just be confident with our skills with a DL20a or Laser Rifle until the T21 comes out. I dont think that this should be a hard thing for us to do, as the T21 is bugged with an AR piercing issue.

Just "Hold tight" as I was told. Resources are there. Go help find them.

Oh Yeah: I am on the Gorath Server where we also do NOT have the resources in question.

It's not broken, it's as in tended. The ideal range modifier is -32. Basically you're -32 at 0 meters, and it goes down towards 0 from there. It's a LOT better than the tight range on the Laser Rifle. In 5 steps you go from +20 to -80. I'd rather havea fairly constant -10-15 and actually be able to hit up close.

Any surveyor worth his crafting tool can tell you that you goto a planet, open your survey tool, and all available resources on that planet are listed. There are people that planet hop checking for rare resources. If the resourceswere out there,dedicated individuals would find them, remote location or not.

it wouldnt be all that bad in theory:

i.e. ideal range 0 at -32 to hit, max range 64 at -0 to hit.

however, in practice, this just means that you have to be at 64m to have no modifier and all other ranges are negatives to-hit. in fact, i personally had -4 at 64m, -32 at around 5m i think, and -38 or so at 0m. it IS messed up because no weapon should only give penalties to hit, especially the uber weapon for that class. i dont see any of the uber pistols or carbines, yet but i sure hope they are equally messed up, so we are all balanced, HA.

this seems like something so easy to fix. did they intend to change the stats to this? or do people know that the item really is bugged? (including the AR3, is anyone sure they indended to keep this on the weapon?)

Solution to the range bug: just add a coupler that adds "ideal range". I have some that add 13% ideal range and 30% to max damage. Good stuff

As for the AR bug.. thats crap. Every **edit** good weapon in the game blows right through armor.... except the god **edit** top rifle? **edit** is that?! If a god **edit** FWG5 or scatterpistol can blow right through armor why cant an extremely high powered rifle do it?

BS.

The the people saying its stupid to be running aroudn with the T21 1 month into the game. Your wrong, if your master rifleman you should have it, in fact it should be moved up higher in the tree, say sniper 4 would work right. When Ireceive the certification, Id prefer to be able to go and buy it that day. But becuase of the messed up way the resource shifts work I cant. If every Novice Rifleman is running around with it, yeah thats a problem, but not if someone who worked hiss ass off to get higher up into rifleman. We deserve the rifle for working so hard to get high up in the tree.

Imagine later into the game, someone activates a new acount, there going to have it much less then one month into the game. They will have it in one week tops, unless they play 1 horu a day, and even then its possible.

where can you get a t-21, I,ve looked everywhere I don't see any for sale?

then you havent looked everywhere some of the really new shards might not have em. dunno since you didnt say where u play.
